History

Established in 1989.

At first, they dealt in software for the Amiga, Atari ST, C64, Mac, and PC. They also worked on hardware — mostly building PC’s. A year and a half after they opened, they got their «Amiga Dealer’s License». They were official. They continued merrily on, selling the Amiga products, along with the occasional PC build. Eventually, the Atari, Mac, and C64 software business fell away, leaving behind the Amiga and PC to carry on without them.

And carry on they did, and fairly well. But as things are wont to do in the technology field, the times were a’changin’, and right quick too. The PC was quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, while internal struggles were tearing Commodore apart. Amiga users were slowly (and for many, reluctantly) moving over to the PC platform. While they continued to support the Amiga, PC software and hardware quietly became their bread and butter.

Meet the Business Owner

Will R.

Business Owner

Originally looking in North Seattle, a friend of Robin’s turned them on to the growing Mill Creek area. The real estate agent they were working with showed them a few places, but the price wasn’t right. The agent, after having shown them yet another space that was out of their price range, told them in an offhand remark to check out a place a few miles down the road in Bothell. So they did. It used to be a «Tan Cabana», complete with eight little tanning rooms. Armed with power tools and pizza, Will and Robin, their close friend (and now partner) Charles, and Will’s parents Nick and Mary, demolished, gutted, built, hammered, nailed, wired, painted, carpeted and stocked the new store.
